Quote:while i bitch for a moment, but when did 10% become acceptable? just because the economy's not doing so well people seem to have decided to punish me. and if you're paying with credit card, leave the tip in cash please, we get taxed on credit card tips...
You have every right to bitch...
I always leave 15-20% and cash tip unless service is poor.
I also tip the barber when I get a haircut - but there are others I'm not sure what is right. Do you tip a guy who helps bring your stuff to your car (like at a PC richards)? I tip guys who valet my car, but should I tip a guy at a lot when I get my own car? that seems stupid.
Speaking of $5 coffee, there is a bud light commercial with that - that it takes real guts to put out a tip jar for $5 latte.
I never mind tipping waitresses, but it sux that they rely on that for their pay - they should be paid decent wages, with tips being extra for good service. As it is now, it is just a hidden tax on food.
